Ok got home today and took my wheels off, checked driver side, no play nothing, solid as a mother f'r, put the wheel back on. Went to the driver side, visual inspection ok, grabed this grabed that shook, ok, Grabbed the tierod, BAM WIGGLIN LIKE A MOTHER ****ER. Still firmly attached but i could wiggle it back and forth with out using muscle

SO i found the problem (with all your help, specialy the one who mentioned the tie rod).

Now the passneger side tie rod needs replacing. Two questions, one everything else is ok firm clean no problems should i have to change anything else or just remove the old and put in a new?

If your tie rod ends have never been replaced before, then I'd recommend changing the entire passenger side tie rod.. it's not that much more difficult. The problem is, when it seizes together you'll need a torch, or a lot of banging and wiggling to get her loose and the threads get damaged, when you put the new tie rod end back in, there will be a little bit of play. Replacing the entire tie rod is easy... I did both of mine in under an hour, without having ever done it before, and without instructions to guide me.

So its not my tie rod ends, has nothing to do with that, it was as i originally stated. the lower ball joints. while replacing my brakes today, my brother (whos a mechaninc) was helping me and noticed that my ball joints were bad and that, that was where my shaking and noise problems (other then the wheel hub noise) were comming from. so maybe next weekend the ball joints and the wheel hub get replaced.
